Best System Maintenance in Washington DC

My mom had been having issues with her HVAC for quite some time. I tried to get the company I used for my system to come out, but the tech didn't show up (which was in contrast to my experience with them). Obviously my mom wasn't thrilled because she had taken off work for the appointment, so I started researching for another company on Yelp and talking with neighbors. After having a couple of companies out, we decided to move forward with Reddick & Sons and I am very happy with that decision! We were both really pleased with their service, and most impressed with their ethics. They quoted my mom a fair, comparable price for a new unit and treated her with the utmost respect and professionalism. They stand behind their work and are quick to assist with any questions or concerns. And, the system works great. I highly recommend. Thanks to them for treating my mom well and doing a great job installing her new system.

Awesome service. Came over within an hour of reaching out on yelp on CHRISTMAS EVE and fixed our furnace!

Received four quotes for three major home projects: A complete master bathroom remodel, a new deck, and replacement of a drop ceiling with sheetrock and repair of a water-damaged wall in a guest bedroom.
The first three quotes were from high end remodelers. A friend recommended Allen Geoffrey's Handyman Services to us (she had just had her bathroom remodeled). Geoff and his crew (Mark and Brian) came out to survey the jobs. They spent more time with me going over what work we wanted and what our major concerns were. They suggested a comprehensive plan of attack from top to bottom. We were consulted at every step of each of the projects to ensure that our expectations and design elements were incorporated.
Their price quote came in thousands (yes, thousands) of dollars less than the three previous quotes. While they don't provide the design assistance of the high end contractors, they met us at a big box contractor store and helped us color-coordinate our design interests. They took care of ordering all the various pieces parts needed and got us a significant discount on materials.
First, they replaced the deck to install flashing (that the previous home owner neglected to do), that led to the water damage in the guest bedroom. The deck was brought up to code and revealed serious problems with the previous deck installation.
After the deck was done, the crew split off into two teams, one working on the master bathroom, the other, working on the guest bedroom.
The crew took care of hauling off all old materials and cleaned up after each day. The work was first-rate.
As with any major home project, unexpected/unforeseen problems arise. While removing the water-damaged sheetrock in the guest bedroom, major water damage was discovered to the exterior wall. Geoff gave me a very reasonable labor estimate to repair the wall. That wall is now the strongest in the house.
They show up when expected, every day, until the job is done.  They go beyond what is expected to ensure that the client is happy with the direction the project is headed.
I highly recommend these master plumbers. I guess my highest endorsement is that, when our kitchen cabinets come in, Geoff and his crew will be doing our complete kitchen remodel (again, coming in thousands of dollars less than the high-end contractors). If you need any work done to your home, give them a call. They will not disappoint you.
And, Geoff, Mark, & Brian, our new master bathroom looks and functions beyond our expectations. Thank you!

We used Clover Services for the first time today.  Unfortunately, our kitchen sink had a back up and our disposal was not draining.  I contacted Clover yesterday and they had someone at our house first thing this morning.  

Tom was professional and fixed the problem in a timely manner.  He quoted me a price, snaked the drain and replaced some of the piping under the sink.  All is well in the kitchen again and the sink is working perfectly.

We would not hesitate to use Clover Services again in the future.

I have used Brendan for nearly 15 years for ALL of my HVAC installs, upgrades and service calls and consider myself to be very fortunate to have such a reliable, honest and trustworthy contractor working for me. It's a relief to not have to worry about being charged for unnecessary repairs when I place a service call to Brendan. He has always properly and efficiently diagnosed all HVAC issues that I have presented him with and provided several options/routes to take based on what is the most financially feasible for the situation and NEVER has tried to sell me a part or service that wasn't absolutely necessary. In fact, Brendan has, on many occasions, put in extra time and work in order to save me expenses when he could. Brendan has been a valuable asset and has become a good friend over the years! One encounter with him and you'll become a customer for life, never needing to call anyone else for your HVAC needs, as well as becoming an advocate for his work, not hesitating to recommend him to ANYONE!

John and Junior were excellent! We've been working through a persistent plumbing issue. John has consistently followed the issue to its resolution. These guys are super professional.

Elite Plumbing was a pleasure to work with - we had a leak coming in from outside, and they were able to diagnose the issue almost immediately and get us scheduled for repair. We went out for a few quotes and Elite gave us a great price for the same work, and were prompt and competent to complete the job. Couldn't recommend them more !

I hired Zapata's HVAC Systems to remodel my first floor 1/2 bathroom. It was done very poorly. The paint job was sub-par. I had to hire another contractor to fix his work. The new contractor had to repair the walls and re-paint; repair mirror trim paint; paint the ceiling. In addition, I had to beg Mr. Zapata to take the old toilet that he left in my backyard. After a few weeks, he finally hauled the toilet away.

Moreover, I hired Mr. Zapata to install gutter guards in all my gutters. He did a poor job and left many misaligned and sticking up. Some of them blew off. Again, I had to hire another contractor to finish and fix his work.

Mr.Zapata said that I needed a new garbage disposal per my inspection report. I read the report afterwards and it did not say that. Beware as this contractor pushes to be paid via Zelle and Venmo. I found out that a previous customer filed a BBB complaint alleging unnecessary work performed and wanting to be paid via Venmo. In addition, like the other customer, he will not furnish invoices.

We were fortunate to find Ahoy and George was amazing.  We had a stoppage for the outside drain and we called Ahoy to come service and he came out to give a free estimate but his price was reasonable so we asked gone to do it. The stoppage was clear but unfortunately the design of the French pit that we had was slow drain and cause more flooding into our basement but not as much as before. We called Ahoy again  and he recommended installing a sump pump and again his price was reasonable. We haven't had flooding since. Then we had another plumbing issue with a leak from a bathroom. He diagnosed it thoroughly and identified the issues as a leaky roof and poor grouting on the floor.

Why we love the service we received?
1) free estimate
2) reasonable price
3) excellent communication and very quick to respond
4) very friendly service
5) prompt service

We had called George three times and all three occasions have been amazing.

Snell is a very professional and efficient HVAC company with a good business model and excellent customer service.  Web site is very good allowing easy interaction and contact for questions and appointments.  I have always had great service from respective technicians.  For my most recent appointment in August (2019), technician Francisco DeLaRosa provided excellent service.  He was very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous.  He was able to trouble shoot the problem very quickly and lined out various cost options for repairs.  He had to go to the warehouse for a part, came right back, and fixed the AC unit in short order.

Had my hot water unit go bad. Ash, at Heidler, is great. He came out the same day I called. He gave me a quote at that time. I think the quote was a little high but, I had to get it fixed. With Ash's support I felt I was in good hands. It is because of him, I will continue with this company. I would highly recommend him. You can ask for him when you call in.

Arrived as scheduled and the employee had a hard time finding the leak. Drained the valve box and couldnt find the leak.

He covered up and said if it continues to leak to call back and they will come back.  Wasted $100 for really nothing.

Didnt follow through and dig around the line where the leak was later found by another company about 6 inches on the main line.  

Wasted $100 for really nothing.

I was very pleased with my experience with the heating/ac techs, and have used them several times for various issues.  The first time they saved me more than 5000 when another company tried to tell me I needed a whole new heating and cooling system when really all I needed was a clog to be removed from the condensation pipe.  Therefore I thought I was dealing with a great and honest company.  

The plumbing experience, however has made me rethink ever calling them again.  The biggest variable of how you will feel about your service is the technician you deal with.  Troy was unprofessional and told me how difficult the job was and how much he hates doing it (it was a leaky faucet) because he would have to take the sink off of the wall. Isn't that why you hire a plumber? Didn't instill a whole lot of confidence. Long story short, I should have trusted my instinct and hired another plumber that doesn't mind doing what he was hired to do.

If your looking for AC help, they're great. If you need a plumber, find some one else.

I had an emergency 'situation' during Thanksgiving week, in a night period, with sewage backing up from the main line into my basement.  

It was a very 'shitty situation'.  

I was calling multiple plumbers, without success of someone being available.  I called Marines as I was going down the proverbial list of plumbers.  They also had no one available, but as I explained my situation, Raymond (the owner), called me back and he agreed to personally come and help with the problem.  

He arrived, cleared the blockage, which unfortunately was no easy task and required additional inputs into the line to be cut.  Within a couple hours he had the pipe cleared and functional.  

To be clear, the work was not cheap (night time, scale of work, etc.) and I am sure I could have gotten the work done for less; however, what I could not get (obviously) was the responsiveness and quality on short demand.  It stung, since it was over the original estimate, but I was more than happy to pay the cost and was pleasantly surprised by the thoroughness and care.  In fact, I have been planning to use Marines for some other work I want to have done as a result.  

Just when I had practically forgotten about everything, I received an envelope in the mail.  Raymond sent me a partial refund.  Either he decided that I had overpaid or that he had overcharged me and took it upon himself to return it.  I would have never known or realized!    With that final act, I consider myself a future Marines Plumbing customer, should the need ever arise.  Quality, integrity and honesty.  These are traits that are hard to find in a vendor, supplier or service provider.  

I would recommend Marines Plumbing to anyone in a plumbing emergency.

Bob responded in a timely manner and was able to come to my home quickly. He diagnosed the issue (at no cost) and was able to correct it right then and there. I will definitely call on him again if I have any other issues.

I don't write reviews, let alone for a plumbing company but everyone needs to know how amazing their service is! I called 4 plumbers because our water heater went down. They answered on the first ring rather than having to leave a message, I got a text with technician's photo that he was on his way, he also called to let me know he was on his way. AND he was out within 2 hours (earlier than quoted!) He educated me on our system as well while doing the work! GREAT service at a very reasonable price! I now have my go-to plumber and one I can proudly recommend

Our toilet got flooded due to the refrigerator. He agreed to fix our bathroom ceiling with paint and living room ceiling for $600 total. Once he started working he started complaining and started saying its too much work i and I am just helping you we paid him $300 to get the supplies. He messed up our walls and said he never said he will be painting the whole ceiling. This guy was trying to find ways to get more money out. He simply refused him and asked him to leave. We were not going to pay more for the job which is still unfinished and very poor job. Now he started to post my pictures my kid's pictures my house pictures on social media and he has started to harass me and my wife. I would not recommend this person at all. If anything happens to me or my family this guy Edward would be responsible

Water from our kitchen sink was draining into laundry sink after a pot of beans was emptied into the sink. It had been blocked for about 5 days. We had tried liquid drain cleaners, enzymes, plunger and an 25' auger with no success.

While checking yelp rating for another company, discovered companies with more and better reviews. Plumbing Dr was the first one I called. The receptionist at Plumbing Dr was pleasant and efficient, asking detailed questions about my problem. She said they could have someone at my house that afternoon between 1-5 and plumber arrived at 2:00 pm, just 2 hrs after my call.

Of the others plumbers I called, 1 did not work in DC, 2 I did not reach a live person and they still have not called back, and 1 could not come before Friday.

Charlie listened to all the things we had tried, saving valuable time in assessing the problem.Within a half hour the drain was clear, taking 30' snake to reach the clog.

Charlie took great care to keep the work area clean. His shoes were covered on entry, he covered the area near the sink and wiped out the cabinet when done.

The quote was $168  for the first hour and $20 snake fee. Only item not included in the original quote was 5 dollar gas fee but we got a Yelp discount which more than offset the gas fee and most of the snake fee.The only other company I reached quoted $240 for the same time period.

We gave them very specific details about what our ongoing issue was. The plumber onsite arrived 45 minutes late and had no idea what the issue was (last name: Jones.) And proposed a solution that had already been tried. When we scheduled the service, we were specifically asking for alternative long-term solutions, because we have been having the issue for months. And other plumbers had already attempted that. Then they sought to overcharge us for the service (more than double the going rate). On top of that despite being deceptive about proposed solutions, they still charged us their service fee.

Last year, my central AC went out.  I called spartan.  They had a tech come to my house when my roommate was there.  They said they looked at the unit and left me a bill for the checkup (about 80 bucks) and an estimate of about 5000 for a new condenser.  I couldn't afford, so I purchased window ac's and stuck with that.  On a separate project,. I had someone fix some gas lines and he said he could look at the ac .  He found the problem in 5 minutes ....bad capacitor .  Boom!  I was shocked and called spartan back for a refund because obviously the tech didn't look at my unit and tried to make a sale instead.  Very very dishonest of you guys... .taking advantage of people that don't know better.  I would give you guys a negative star if I could.
